It goes without saying that 2015 has been a tumultuous year for horology. The dawn of the smartwatch is nigh, the Swiss Franc hit a record high in January, and luxury market hotspots appear to be cooling around the world. Despite the tenuous outlook, Swiss horologers remained undeterred as they showed up at Baselworld in grand fashion to display this year’s novelties. The Peak reports live from the Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Fair 2015.
Sometimes, it is we possess that defines who we are. Here’s a list of things that you didn’t even know you needed to be at The Peak of life.
Lords of the Final Frontier
The Peak travels to Houston, Texas, for Omega’s gala dinner in the presence of three legendary astronauts as well as its celebrity brand ambassador, George Clooney, paying homage to the brand’s continual commitment to space exploration as well as to commemorate its legendary Speedmaster timepieces, which carry the distinction and unique legacy of being the first watch on the moon.
The 10th edition of the prestigious Maybank Malaysian Open (MMO), taking place from 5 to 8 February at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club (KLGCC), brings with it a larger purse and the promise of some of the world’s best golfers. The Peak speaks to four top personalities closely involved with the MMO about their top swings and the best lay of the green.
Over the last 20 years, independent watchmakers have risen to the fore. The Peak sits down with Maximilian Büsser, one of the key players in this band of audacious rebels, to discuss how he continues to conceive creations that intrigue and sell.
